Thankful

Is it just my observation or do the rest of you notice a more profound number of people expressing their thanks this year? I logged onto Facebook today and saw at least 20 posts of people listing things they are thankful for. I guess its not all that uncommon, but this year I feel people really ARE thankful. Their words seem genuine. Maybe Americans are a little humbled this year, I know I for one am definitely humbled. So without further a do, here is my Thankful List.

  • I'm incredibly thankful to have found my soul mate and lucky enough to have married him.
  • I'm thankful for my daughter, she is vibrant, funny, smart, and most important, healthy.
  • I'm thankful for my son, who is a mini me. He has the biggest heart of any child I've ever met.
  • I'm an thankful for my parents, without them I would not be who I am today.
  •  I'm thankful for my mother's wonderful listening skills and her wise advise. 
  • I'm thankful for my siblings who make it easy to be "mom's favorite". LOL
  • I'm thankful for my friends. Its nice to have somewhere to turn when your husband and mother are sick of you.
  • Although I often complain of its monotony,I'm thankful to have a career that makes it possible to provide for my family and at the same times provides me with an opportunity to help people. 
  • I'm thankful to have a relationship with god that is not dictated by any organization.
  • I'm thankful for my health. 
I'm sure I'm thankful for more, but these are some of the top things weighing on my mind lately. Its unfortunate people use one day out of the year to say their thanks out loud. We should all be expressing our thanks through words and actions on a daily basis. I hope all of you have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!
